Dear Dr Paul, you’re so welcome!

Peter well done my friend. Glad you brought us along step by step on the project. I truly agree in the minimal approach to conservation and it not always bright whites that in my opinion look unnatural for a book that is so old.

Hi Jerry, you’re welcome, my friend. Yes, I’ve worked with cotton linters and Abaca paper in the past and they were such difficult fibers to break down and use in pulping and leaf casting - so I stick with art paper and newsprint and tan and filter my pulp for better aesthetics and consistency. Works well. You lead the way, Jerry.
